TESTING THE ARROW DESIGN

 

Wind tunnel and free flight models were used extensively in testing and refining the Arrow design. This video shows the construction and use of these high precision models. Eleven free flight models were launched between Dec. 1954 and Jan. 1957. Nike rocket boosters were used to launch the models and nine models were launched at Point Petre out over Lake Ontario and two were launched at Langley Field in Virginia. Also included in this video is the film "The Avro Arrow's First Flight" which documents Arrow 201's first flight on March 25, 1959.
